Blastoise Wizards of the Coast Presentation Galaxy Star Holo Release Date: 1998 Grading: CGC Near Mint/Mint 8.5 Pokemon card value at auction: $360,000 Originally commissioned by Wizards of the Coast in 1998, the Blastoise Presentation Pokemon card was supposed to give stores an idea of what the TCG line would look like in its final print run
When played, it allows you to target an opponent and force them to discard cards from their hand at random
Secret rare Energy cards are always a treat to pull, and the Lightning type is one of the most spectacular due to how well the gold goes with the yellow color and the extra sparkles in this Sword & Shield era one make it even more glamorous
While most of the valuable cards come from the classic Wizards of the Coast expansions from 1999, the Nintendo tabletop game has also seen a rise in obscure items also selling for incredible amounts at auction
Why Do These Cards Have Such High Value
In March 2021, a PSA 7 near-mint copy of the card was auctioned for $15,300 (12,258.21)
